Can you eat while watching gore on movies or TV?

Horror movie type gore or action film violence? No big deal.

About the only thing that would turn me off is that youtube video of someone popping a massive zit. Or maybe 2girls1cup (which I haven't seen). Stuff like that.

Hannibal is a horrifically gory show, but he makes some of the nicest looking dishes and it is actually kind of appetizing aside from the whole cannibal thing.

I can eat while sitting on the throne doing a #2

It's like real time, or live TV

Yes. I never really got the entire too disgusted to eat thing.

I could eat something while performing surgery or watching a scat video no issue.

I hope you are kidding, if you don't know about the back story from any of the previous Hannibal incarnations then you have been living under a rock for at least 20 years.

Blood and guts and all that is fine. If it's bugs like maggots and stuff, that could put me off temporarily.

It depends on what it is. If it's an action movie or even most horror movies, sure. It's obviously fake.

If it's one of those "real stores of the ER" types of shows, even when most is blurred out, probably not. I'm not squeamish around blood and guts, but something about a living being suffering turns my stomach. Actually, a realistic movie with very realistic screams or similar sounds makes me sick more than the actual sight of fake blood and organs. Saving Private Ryan had its moments (the medic scene and the knife scene).

If I can eat dinner after watching "A bulldog eat mayonnaise" then I can eat after watching anything.

I guess it depends on how hungry I am, what I'm eating and, to a lesser extent, the content/context of the program I'm watching.

Absolutely... Sometimes I start searching sick medical diseases on Google while I'm on lunch.

If it's brief I don't mind, but if it's like watching a surgery scene where they show it for an extended time then no. A war movie where a guy gets his arm blown off but it was only for 3 seconds, don't care.

What I absolutely can't watch while eating is anything to do with insects. Am I weird or what?
